Hi Everyone,
Seeking some advice.
We currently have a small group of 3 individuals residing in the same team. All have recently been disciplined for various reasons.
It has now been brought to a senior managers attention via an email from another employee that the 3 individuals have been openly discussing the process, panel members & level of warnings received.
The employee has explained in the email that the behaviour of the 3 individuals has affected her, making her feel uncomfortable while affecting moral & productivity within the team.
The discussions taken place, can this be a breach of confidentiality & viewed also as a breakdown of trust & confidence.?, therefore proceeding with an investigation that may result in formal action.
Or should I act as a voice of reason, & advise the manager to manage the situation informally in the hope of early resolution & maintain relationships
Thanking you in advance
Three employees on same team formally disciplined already and further formal disciplinary process being contemplated........we don’t know anything like the full and particular facts but it looks like disciplinary action is pretty rife here, and it may well be worth addressing the question as to why: is this really the best way to run things?
The suggestion that those having been disciplined should be disciplined again for daring freely to discuss what happened amongst themselves is, in most usual circumstances, a completely unreasonable approach. Moving forward in harmony / putting past problems behind everyone would normally be the way to go, and therefore quiet informal words integrated with further measures indeed to move forward might be far preferable.
